You Need To Be Alone Sometimes: Secret World of Japanese Indies Part 1

Schedule to be announced soon

- Nobuaki Doi, Guest Curator

Hiding behind the monolith that is Anime is a special world where independent Japanese animation resides. Coming to life usually as small private productions, many of the films position us as peeping toms secretly peering into uniquely private worlds. This sense of isolation and alienation reveals the uniquely personal styles and mindsets of the artists. As the films take us inside the complicated minds of different generations of Japanese animators these two programs also introduce us to a wide range of independent animators ranging from masters to emerging talents.
